Chapter 189: Things Lost in Time
After arranging the samples, the smile on Bud's face finally settled down.
As long as these samples can be verified and better application methods can be found, then Slime City will successfully find its own position between the Royal Capital, Sweet Leaf City, and Raven Castle.
If all goes well, a quarry might be built here, and perhaps an assembly line for the design, production, construction and assembly of new parts for the magic arm armor.
Once these things come, the effects they can bring will be enormous.
He knew how a Sweet Leaf Town was upgraded to a Sweet Leaf City.
It was also clear to see how Abes had solved the problems of the royal capital's previous abstract policy of only bringing in and not leaving, as well as the massive population that had already begun to gather in the small kingdoms due to unrest.
As long as the Slime City can also acquire such industries, the first thing that will be done is to create a large number of workers' jobs.
And what comes with it for these workers is food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Will there be a unified canteen arrangement? Or will the people be able to buy and run their own business?
How to handle the transportation, management and final cooking of fruits, vegetables and meat.
Will people find daily commuting troublesome? Is it necessary to build unified housing as dormitories, or should people buy, sell and rent them on their own initiative?
If construction is to take place, it will also bring various positions and demands over a long period of time.
In short, where there is demand, there will be industries created to meet the demand, and then there will be new positions.
Only by making the Slime City move can we achieve the vitality under the rule of the royal capital.
In any classical era, it would be unthinkable to get citizens moving, because poor supervision would create countless dark shadows appearing in the shadows of the moving crowd.
Not knowing where the population is and what they are doing will give rulers a deep fear.
That’s why there are road permits and curfews.
But now, Bud is not worried about these problems at all.
Because education will improve people's bottom line, education will bring more talents, and the rule will not only last for him and a few close people around him, and will not only last for him and his adopted sons and daughters.
If every street and even every family could find a person who can read and write and understand the truth,
In addition, even though Mud City is a large city sandwiched between Raven Castle and the Royal Capital, it is just a city, and its size is far from meeting the standard.
He has the capital behind him, and an ancient hero from a thousand years ago backing him up...
Therefore, he will not be afraid or fearful.

As if she felt that she had made a wasted trip, Bing Nagi stretched her arms in a relaxed manner.
"Master Abes, let's go. Aren't we going to get the last surgical materials for Dr. Matthew?"
But Abes was still staring at the oval ring, the decoration called the Ether Gate.
Some ideas gradually pieced together some traces in his mind, some traces pointing to certain ideas.
Why does this mountain have so many hard surfaces that feel like they were cut, and give him a sense of déjà vu of the rows of charging devices arranged in an array in the strange space where the main teleportation stone tablet is located?
Large-scale industrial or ceremonial needs?
How do these minerals around here that look similar to pyroxene acquire similar functions to the Phantom Step?
In other words, these stones can communicate with the etheric plane and utilize ether?
And the oval metal ring is shaped like a door.
On its body, there are a group of strange carvings with a strong rune-like charm, as well as some places that look like inlay holes or interfaces. Is this so-called ether door really just a decoration as Bard and the others thought?
Teleportation main stone tablet, large-scale industry or ritual, the function of the phantom step, ether, door, patterns that look like rune sets but have no magical reaction at all, inlay holes and interfaces...
When all this came together, a very familiar word came out of Abes's mouth.
"A portal...?!"
Abes's tense brows finally relaxed slightly. After combining this series of terms together, he couldn't help but think of this noun.
But then a deeper sorrow swept over me.
If true, where are these technologies now?
As early as when he discovered the teleportation stele and the main teleportation stele, he had already consulted Bing Nagi, the knowledgeable wizard.
Individual spells do have medium-distance teleportation spells. If there are multiple people and with the help of some rituals, they can even use a spell called teleportation to open doors to other planes.
However - expensive money, one-time spellcasting materials that take a long time to mix with the target, and a maximum of eight people, a dignified Nine-ring Grand Wizard, are all used to do this for you?
In short, ultra-long-distance teleportation is convenient and fast. You just need to walk into a door and walk out and you’ll be there. It can even be activated continuously, allowing civilians to teleport as easily as hailing a taxi?
No.
This is why, from the very beginning, Abes had great doubts about the teleportation stele and the strange space where the main teleportation stele was located.
It's too convenient, too black-boxed, and neither Hiroki nor Sister Agatha can figure it out yet.
Not to mention Kronos who is still learning, and Abes who is a complete half-baked one.
What should the teleportation arrays, doors, and props actually look like in the current world?
The North is divided again and again, and it can't even unite, let alone build a portal.
What about Zhongzhou? The two great powers in Zhongzhou used what they called a teleportation gate, but in fact it should be called a space gate or a transformation gate.
But this is the kind of thing that can only be used by mages to charge it, and such a limitation means that it is definitely not a product for civilians.
And since the method of use is to let the mage charge, the space gates or transformation gates will not have as many rune "decorations" as the "ether gate" in front of us, nor will there be inlay holes and interfaces.
Putting all these details together, we can draw some conclusions that would terrify even Abes.
Or, this metal oval ring is really just a decoration, then let this etheric gate decoration become a symbol of good luck for the surrounding stones that have the ability to utilize ether and have Eldenite deposits.
Otherwise, it is not a decoration.
This means that there once was a person who could use the ether and the long coastline of the etheric plane for teleportation. It was not like traditional magician charging, but relied on inlaid holes and interfaces for energy supply. Perhaps it had a technological means of energy supply similar to the magic crystal in the magic blast furnace.
A means closer to industrial concepts.
The etheric gate may not be a decoration, so the things on the etheric gate may not be decorations either.
What if those carvings with rune charm were not useless in the distant past, but something that could really play a role in that era?
Abes felt a little dizzy. It was the first time in his current "game" experience that he felt the possible horror of being lost in the long river of time.
